***pics update; https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...l#post15259439 ***

I just got this at my local home hardware...special thanks to my stupid government for making me pay everything more expensive for no reason when the dollar is on par 14.99$ a can plus 15% tax LOLL (cant order em from USA cause its under pressure meh).

whatever, I want black wheels!

I cleaned the wheels with wheel cleaner(a must have!), dried em with a microfiber cloth, use some automotive tape and did a 1st generous paint job. Dont be shy, its easy and wont slide or leaves drop in the texture. I'm really excited to see it on my car!! It takes about 1 can per wheels and IMO, for now, its not necessary to do the back of the wheel.

There will be a second coat; you can see the silver a bit through it. I removed the tape even if I have to do it again cause I dont wanna take chance about the plasti dip peeling when its dry and removing the tape..

I like them black. How long do you expect the Plasti-Dip to last?

Canada is only good for health insurance and weed, everything else is expensive as ****. Other then that, that Plasti Dip is pretty dope.

I've searched and saw wheels after 6 months and they were still looking good. Anyway, its temporary, I'll be glad to have my silver wheels in 6 months..if not, I'll sell the wheels!

^^well said hahaah..but you forgot; we have pretty girls too, especially in the french part

Will Plasti-Dip effect the paint on your car at all?

Never heard of damage because of it, but I cannot guarantee it.. I will do it and tell the world

post #4...or

-remove wheels
-spray wheels/bolt holes with wheel cleaner and scrub a bit with a soft scrubing pad. After with soft soap/water and the scrubing pad(for dishes). Rinse generously.
-dry wheels with microfiber cloth or towel shop
-buy the can
-tape the edge of the wheel with large automotive tape(not too close of the lip cause the paint wont get to the edge of the lip, leave 1-2mm of space).
-spray 2-3 generous coats always before it dries(5-7mins between coats worked best IMO). Make sure you cant see paint under it with a strong light.
-remove tape RIGHT AFTER IT!
-let it dry 4 hours at least.
-reinstall wheel
